Victim of Bullying

I am sitting on the floor, crying so much more.
I am a victim of bullying.
Your bullying is killing.
I’m thinking about committing suicide, while holding a cold, sharp, and dangerous blade.
I’m crying like crazy trying to take away the pain.
I did this because of you
Look what you made me do.
The boy you picked on everyday swallowed a bottle of pills.
why pick on him? Did you know bullying kills?
A girl with problems is what everyone see’s.
Weird, ugly, dark, and worthless is what i’m described to be.
people treat me like trash. They talk about me horribly. Everything they said was a lie.
I started believing what people said. I thought it was all true. I wanted to die!
People talked about my image and I started cutting my body.
One day I cut too deep and died. The worst part is no one missed me.

I Can'T Breathe

I can’t breathe
Don't you hear the pleas?
I cant breath
We still aren't free,
I can’t breathe
society judged by skin pigmentation.
I can’t breathe
What’s wrong with our nation?
I can’t breathe
Don't you hear his pleas?
I cant breathe 
Hatred and discrimination is what we see.
I can’t breathe 
We are not equal, we are not free.
I can’t breathe
Unarmed black men and boys being shot down.
I can’t breathe
Injustice in America, injustice all around.

Enough

I just want to be enough.
I try my best, but everything seems so tough.
The harder I try, the higher the standards are raised.
I want my hard work to be acknowledged and praised.

I don't want to be a screw up and disappointment.
My life should be fun and full of enjoyment.
This is too much stress and pressure.
I'm only thirteen, I should be carefree and having an adventure.

I'm drained physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It seems like everyone is depending on me.
I try my best to make everyone proud.
The voices in my head, telling me to do better are so loud.

Im drained and tired like the wings of a bird.
Everyone not being satisfied is just absurd.
These expectations make me feel like a mouse in a trap.
Every time I'm told I could do better, in my face I feel a slap.

These expectations make me feel broken like a shattered dream
No one's ever thought about what I want, so it seems.
I just wanna have fun and take a break.
My future is something I don't yet want to face.

I'm living in the present now, so why dwell about my future?
For now my life should be filled with happiness and humor.
I try so hard, but I sometimes wanna give up.
I'm only human, but yet I wanna be enough.

Death

It sneaks up on you without warning.
First you’re happy, now you're mourning.
Sadness and agony is what you feel.
Seems like an empty hole in your heart that can’t be filled.
Wishing you took advantage of the time you had together.
Thinking you’ll be an emotional train wreck forever.
Wanting to see their contagious smile again.
Seems like the sadness and pain will never end.
Going day by day wishing they were still with you.
Never being happy and joyful like you used to.
Wanting to change things and redo the past.
You know their love for you was unconditional and will forever last.
Though you know death is inevitable, you pray it won't occur.
It's a painful feeling you’re forced to endure.
Something as old as time, that you’ve become accustomed to.
It’s like a trap and you're trying to break through.
Realization is the worst stage of grieving.
Seems like without them, life has no meaning.
You’ll soon understand.
The separation is only temporary and you’ll see them once again.  
You’ll be sad and think about them each and everyday.
You’ll miss them and their presence, but you know you’ll see them again, someday.
